Critical error (render)

ronguiness_ESO
I have been trying to log on today and am getting Critical Error (render) popups on the logi n screen. I have been able to log in and play all through beta and up to last night with no issues. I am running a EVGA NVIDIA 760 gfx card so that shouldn't be the issue. Nothing has changed on my computer since I last ran the game. Here are the errors I have received so far.

Error initializing D3D9 device: Shader Model 3.0 is required.

Video Card Not Supported. Unable to initialize render device

Failed to initialize renderer!

I am at a loss as what to do. The video card is new (bought in the last 3 months). I have no other issues with other games or programs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    An update for anyone interested. It seems that I had a Direct X issue. Windows tried to install some form of driver for my NVIDIA card. To remedy this I reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers with a clean install. Everything seems to be in order now. Hope this can help someone else if you are having the same issue.
